![]() ![]() Sleipnir moved on to the Tolmount Platform installation following the successful completion of Hornsea 2. This action is in line with Heerema’s announcement that the company will go Carbon Neutral in 2020. Nothing was left to chance when the two crane drivers, with the support of more than 260 offshore workers onboard Sleipnir, lifted what corresponds to the weight of around two Eiffel Towers. Using LNG, Sleipnir reduces CO2 emissions by 25%, reduces NOx emissions by 92%, reduces SOx emissions by 99%, and Particulate Matters by around 99% compared to traditional Marine Gas Oil crane vessels. The lift of the 17,000 metric tons heavy process module broke a world record as the heaviest crane lift ever undertaken at sea. Sleipnir is the world’s most sustainable SSCV, and during the project, the vessel performed the full installation operations while running on emission-reducing LNG fuel. Installation began on October 12 when the jacket was safely lifted from the Heerema barge H-408. ![]() Heerema is proud to work within the wind sector, and we will be back to complete our scope at Hornsea 2 in 2021. Sleipnir travelled to the Tolmount Field located 40 km off the coast of Hull, UK, with a water depth of around 51 meters on October 7. ![]() The successful and safe installation completes around two years of a close partnership between our client, leading renewable energy company Ørsted, their fabricator SMOE in Batam, and our transportation subcontractor Biglift. After moving to the shallow water RCS location, Sleipnir installed the RCS Jacket. Sleipnir travelled to the OSS location on September 29 and installed the 5000 metric ton OSS jacket after transferring the 1500 metric ton RCS jacket and piles to the Sleipnir deck. Ørsted’s Hornsea 2 wind farm is located approximately 89 km off the Yorkshire coast in the North Sea, and the project will consist of 165 turbines with a combined total capacity of 1.4 GW. The work included the transportation and installation of two jackets for client Ørsted that will provide the foundation for the Hornsea 2 wind farm’s RCS and OSS platforms. Heerema’s SSCV Sleipnir has safely and sustainably completed its second project in the wind sector this season, having earlier executed the HKZ installation. ![]()
